Tuscany ‘25

Vicky and Simon have just returned from a fantastic trip to Tuscany, Italy.

We flew into Pisa, spent some time in Lucca, Florence, Trasimeno lake, Cortona, Monte San Savino, San Gimignano, Gambassi Terme and Pisa once again.

The entire trip was filled with laughter and great times. The cocktails, beer and of course wine was all free flowing and delightful – including this cheeky glass of wine in one of the many “wine holes” we located in the beautiful city of Florence….

We sadly didn’t’t manage to find an average meal anywhere – every single one was outstanding.

Massive thanks to Dafit and Jilly for joining us and making the memories – Tuscany, we will never forget your beauty, your terrific food, incredible wines (and bonus cocktails) and of course the great laughs we enjoyed all the way through.

We hope to see you again soon 🙂

Malham

Elliot and Simon joined the Axiologik walking group on a walk over in Malham yesterday. We were prepared for a very rainy day and were NOT prepared for the glorious sunshine that we actually got…

It was a terrifically sunny day, culminating in a few hours in a lovely pub in Malham village where we all realised the sunburn would be very real later….

Firework Champions at Newby Hall

On Saturday afternoon, we drove up to Newby Hall to attend the 2021 Firework Champions.

We attended the same event two years ago with Rob, April and Isabel and had a fantastic time, so when we realised that the event was on once again this last weekend and that we had already booked and paid for tickets, we were absolutely delighted.

We pitched up the gazebo and enjoyed some wonderful food with great company…

There were ultimately thousands of visitors so having selected a gazebo pitch was a super smart move, to ensure that we could enjoy the show with plenty of space for us all. The following picture was taken v early on, before most people had settled in…

This year, we were to enjoy some aerial fireworks that were delivered from two planes that were also performing some incredible acrobatics to boot, before the main event as the skies darkened sufficiently.

Finally, we settled in to enjoy the three companies that were competing and we hope that we will be able to secure tickets for next years event…
